So, we are back in the middle of torrential rains again, pretty much trapped in the house. The internet has been out on our Mac products, but thank goodness the kids’ new computers are getting a stronger signal from the modem, or I think we would all be completely crazy right now.
Something crappy happened to me this week. My Instagram business account got hacked. The person was posting all kinds of Bitcoin nonsense and trying to scam my almost 12000 followers. I freaked out for a few hours, trying so hard to log back in, but couldn’t. In the end I managed to get a hold of Instagram security and they shut it down, and they are supposedly going to get my account back to me, but it will be a week tomorrow so sadly I’m starting to lose hope. If you look my business up on IG it’s just gone, and that is our main source of advertising. So, keep your fingers crossed. I don’t have it in me to build it up again, at least not right now.
So, I’ve been kind of stressed this week! The kids had their mentors come over on Monday and all was well. Their support workers came over on Tuesday, and that was pretty good too, even though they were unable to go out because of the rain. Four hours is a little long for Arley to stay at home and play with someone - he gets exhausted from it and needs plenty of breaks.
On Friday Arley went to his other support worker’s place to meet up wth another little boy for a play. When I dropped Arley off, Rob told me he was planning on taking them kayaking to Bribie Island. Arley said he wasn’t going because he hates kayaking. I told him he would get a treat if he went and had fun, and Rob told him he would just be sitting in the front of his kayak while the other little boy had a separate kayak. I left, and off they went. When he had to put on a life jacket, apparently he said to Rob, “Why do I have to wear this clown suit?!” LOL. They got over there fine and Arley had a great time, even though he refused to smile for the photos. On the way home though, Arley and Rob’s kayak got a hole in it and they sunk! They had to swim the last 10 - 12 meters in to shore, fully clothed. OMG. Rob said that Arley was totally calm about it the whole time. He walked back to Rob’s house soaking wet and sandy, and he refused a towel. Rob was to drive Arley home, so they had to wait until the other mother arrived. She was ten minutes late, and that’s when Arley lost the plot. He was shouting and angry, and then Rob had to drive him home all wet. When they got home, Arley stormed off into the bathroom for a shower, and told me he’s never going kayaking with Rob again. I hate to laugh, but it is just so funny! Such bad luck. Rob said to me, “I’ve worked with many kids over the years, but your son…he’s going to break me!” Yep. That’s Arley.
Carmie has had a couple of nights of bad sleep this week, and I’m praying that her insomnia doesn’t return. She’s been happy and in good spirits. She has kicked butt through all the school work I’ve had to get her to do for our homeschool registration. She hasn’t been happy about it, but she’s done well. Arley has been less than compliant though, so wish me luck for the week ahead!
No photos of Carmie this week :(
